The Phoenix - Poem by Kavitha Krishnamurthy

Excruciating grief burning the heartHope flees away as smokeMy wishes and desires blazes awayAll that is left is the ash of my soulMy soul dies a million deathsBut never does it renounce rises againA phoenix, it rises from the ashCreating a new me with an invigorated spiritFilling new hopes inside my heartA new individual is born once moreTo live a life and die yet again
